Memorial Day with the family

To enjoy the holiday, and celebrate some May birthdays, our family got together to spend more quality time together. We enjoyed good food & fun times at Grandma's house. There's so many memories of good times with the family on her patio, it's a happy place! :}

Really, she's such a cute Grandma! :}

The kids always enjoy time with the cousins!

And I don't know what it is about this chair Glenn & Sherrie (my always silly siblings!) are sitting in; but, it also brings such sentimental feelings. I remember climbing all over it as a young child & loved how it reclined. When we lived at their house for a bit, or whenever we got to stay over, we would love to sleep in it when we could!

Colleen sure makes a cute Grandma herself! :}

Dad getting his laughs in! Have I told you how much I love my family?! :}

Of course, let's not forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. To honor our veterans who have lost their lives, while fighting for our freedom & keeping our country safe. I hope everyone takes time out to appreciate each & every person in the military who have fought & continue to fight for us!! God Bless them!!

And though it's true meaning is in honor of the military, it's also a great time to stop & think about your loved ones who have passed on before you. May you always keep the memories alive & not let them be forgotten! :}
